摘要Objective:To assess the prevalence of post COVID-19 conditions,functional disability impacting daily living,and associated socio-demographic determinants.Methods:In this cross-sectional door-to-door survey,post COVID-19 conditions were identified.Functional impairment was assessed using EuroQoL five-dimension five-level(EQ-5D-5L)questionnaire.Relative risk of symptoms in the COVID-19 positive group as compared to the symptoms in the COVID-19 negative group was calculated.Chi-square test with subsequent Bonferroni's correction was performed to analyze the association of symptoms with age categories,sex and severity of infection.P value<0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.Results:Out of 57610 persons surveyed,COVID-19 test reports were available for 34602(1799 positive and 32803 negative)respondents.Post COVID-19 complaints were significantly more prevalent in infected individuals,including loss of taste(RR 8.82,95%CI 4.77-16.31,P<0.01),loss of smell(RR 7.29,95%CI 3.74-14.22,P<0.01),fatigue(RR 2.97,95%CI 2.56-3.44,P<0.01),muscle pains(RR 1.86,95%CI 1.59-2.18,P<0.01).EQ-5D-5L scores reflected greater difficulty in mobility,self-care,daily activities,and mental health among the infected group,especially in moderate to severe cases.Conclusions:The survey highlights a significantly higher burden of post COVID-19 complaints and functional limitations among COVID-19 positive individuals.These findings underscore the necessity for long-term management strategies to mitigate the burden of post COVID-19 conditions and poor functional status.
